the xmonad (or bluetile) settings are independent of any GNOME
configuration. If gnome-window-properties fails to start, then this is
actually a feature :-)

I’m not exactly sure what you mean with movement keys. Do you mean the
key that you have to press so that clicking, holding and moving the
mouse will move the window? Did you try with the key you specified as
the default_modifier (Windows key by default)?

Greetings,
